Hi there, Friends! With the end of July approaching, it won't be long before autumn projects begin to pop up all over. Have you noticed the stores have already started with fall decor? While I can understand how the scorching heat can make one long for the season to change, here in Texas we've got at least two more months of summer weather. That being said, I plan to finish out July with a few summer decor posts that pair something old with something new. Since it was during the holidays when I last shared my bedroom, let's start there...

Happy Wednesday, Friends! As a writer, as long as I can remember I've been drawn to words. Be it sequined pillows or painted letters on silver platters, my home decor often features inspirational messages. The same is true of the garden that I've filled with whimsical signs. Unfortunately outdoor signs have a tendency to fade over time. Today I'm sharing a simple, thrifty way to refresh them--all it takes is a little time and patience...
Hi there, Friends! Last week, I shared thrifty tips for styling your home for summer. Today I'm sending more thrifty beauty your way with my latest tablescape that was inspired by a recent yard sale find. The thing is, as I gathered the assortment of pretty pastels to set the table, I realized almost every treasured item was either a yard sale or thrift store find. I love it when that happens--don't you?

I adore decorating and gardening but as a single parent have always needed to do both on a budget. Thrifting-- my all inclusive verb for shopping resale shops, thrift stores, estate and yard sales is not just my hobby but rather a lifestyle. It supports my habit of collecting Vintage dishes and Pyrex and over the years has proven invaluable for decorating and re-decorating. I am passionate about transforming and repurposing cast away furniture and love furnishing my home with pieces that have their own history. It has saved me more pennies than I can count and is the perfect solution to almost any dilemma. Your child comes home from school and informs you that he must dress like his favorite super hero TOMORROW? Your daughter can only wear modest knee length skirts to respect the local culture on her upcoming mission trip? Volunteer to host the next ladies event but then realize you don't own enough matching glasses? The answer to these questions and so many more: THRIFTING! Last, but certainly not least--thrifting is all about re-cycling, re-imagining and re-creating; the best way to shop green!
